FALL STYLE GUIDE: Military Influence & Mixed Olives

I decided to save the BIGGEST & BEST trend for Fall 2010 for last: everything Military. Although reintroduced several season's ago, the military trend is still fighting on the forefront. This fall, shades of khaki, brown, & olive green are creating an impact.  After all, what man doesn't love a woman in uniform?!

MILITARY INFLUENCE

Ash egosit cuff booties, Max&Chloe demibullet necklace

Elizabeth&James shrunken surplus jacket, Juicy Couture skylar twill military jacket

NOW 1: Jacket (Mango), tee (Aritzia), skirt (Mango)

Wedges (Asos), Bag (H&M)

LATER 1: Jacket (Mango), tee (Aritzia), Jeggings (F21)

Bag (H&M), Oxfords (F21)

NOW 2: Parka (New Look), tee (H&M), jeggings (F21)

Sneakers (Steve Madden), Bag (H&M)

LATER 2: Parka (New Look), Cardi (H&M), Tee & Jeggings (F21)

Satchel & Wedges (Asos)

Fall's most essential layering piece is by far the Parka.  It can be worn for any occasion, whether it be worn over a sequin mini, with a t-shirt and boots, or atop a sweater dress, the Parka can do no wrong!

MIXED OLIVES

Equipment signature satin blouse, J.Brand houlihan twill cargo pants

Olive City: Parka (New Look), Jacket (Mango), Ripped tee & Cardi (F21)

Today, I opted for outfit 'NOW 1' because I could not wait any longer to wear this jacket (just arrived early this week)!  I love it & have already gone through my closet and thought of about ten different ways to wear it...

I really hope you have enjoyed my Fall Style Guide, as well as gained some sort of inspiration as to how to incorporate new trends into your own wardrobes :)  Happy Friday & Thanks for Reading!
